I do echo Kris' comment about CNCF having an opinion on how projects govern. It seems like as CNCF has grown, perhaps there is now a desire to be more explicit about the types of governance we want projects to have? This is something those of us on the Governance WG would love to get more direction around so we can help make templates, etc and build programs that would benefit projects.
There's going to be a huge gap between the governance structures we *recommend* and the ones that are *acceptable to CNCF*. The CNCF was founded on having considerable autonmy for projects in governance, and that has to include adopting systems we think are "bad".
